Sex and The City

I've never been a huge fan of SatC and probably never will be - but I've been in the movie yesterday. If someone asks me along, I'm coming... :)

Well... I just tell you one thing - if it wasn't for Mr.Big and his dark-wonderful-selfconfident-very-sexy-and-he-does-the-eyebrow-thing being I would have either slept throughout the movie or left it after let's say 30 minutes.
The only thing worth seeing in this whole 2 hours and 25 minutes monster-episode was him. Always him. I particularly liked the opening sequence when he awaited her while she crossed the street, and the one scene where he stood out on the balcony when Carrie arrived home (the KISS!!!! *squeee*)... I don't know... he's just so self confident and very very sexy...

In a way he always reminds me of a younger more urban and -of course- very muggle crossover of Snape and Alan Rickman. (Have I mentioned the eyebrow-thing? I just LOVE men who can do that... it makes them look so dangerous and very evil *sighs happily*)

And... those love-letters. Most of all the one from Beethoven?... The second I arrived home I turned on the PC and searched for it... and... *tadaaaaaaaaaa* ... here it is:

Good morning, on July 7

     Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us -
     I can live only wholly with you or not at all -
     Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits -
     Yes, unhappily it must be so -
     You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never -
     Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves.
     And yet my life in V is now a wretched life -
     Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men -
     At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection?
     My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once -
     Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together -
     Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell.
     Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
   
     ever thine
      ever mine
      ever ours

L.

Can't Take the Sky by cluegirl

Title: Can't Take the Sky 
Author: cluegirl
Pairing/Characters: HP/SS
Warnings: violence
Rating: Adult

Summary: One thing Dumbledore never told Harry about horcruxes, is that they are harder to destroy than to create.

Amruniel's Rec: Harry's search for the Horcruxes leave him nearly dead and there is only one person who can try to keep him alive - even though he failed the last time someone asked the same of him. And there is no cure, there's only a way to keep him going... there's not much hope and things really get worse from there.
But it's such a perfect story, so intense, terrible and at the same time wonderful.

Snape is perfect here... and Eileen really made me love her to bits.

It's a very emotional story, highly creative and absolutely stunning.
If the author's warnings scare you - give it a try never the less. It's really worth it!
And the ending, it's simply perfect...
